Unlike Her "Mother"
May 28, 2008
She's revered as a trail-blazing feminist and author Alice Walker touched the lives of a generation of women. A champion of women's rights, she has always argued that motherhood is a form of servitude. But one woman didn't buy in to Alice's beliefs - her daughter, Rebecca, 38.
Here the writer describes what it was like to grow up as the daughter of a cultural icon, and why she feels so blessed to be the sort of woman 64-year-old Alice despises - a mother.
Why do such feminists hate the very nature of women?

Because feminism is not about embracing what makes women female, it's about Marxist politics. It's shocking, but if you are a political libertarian, you already support basic women's rights, and where that ends, the Marxist oppressor-oppressed complex quickly begins (special rights, men are the enemy, children are tyrants, etc.)

What miserable lives these women must have.
